Any chance of a picture of the Itaipu Dam in the header?

A constant reminder of where the cheap source of green energy will come from for the operations in Paraguay.

There's not much newsflow yet although plenty of information available on the IPO via the primary bid platform.

This is from a couple of weeks ago...

[bountyhunter] 08/12/2021 22:26

Created for the Green Energy company Atome IPO. Atome is to be spun out from President Energy accompanied by a Placing and Primary Bid Public Offer.

The Primary Bid offer opened today and closes on Monday or possibly sooner if oversubscribed.

It's a tragedy energyi, but so far we've only mentioned the effects North of Kiev and around Moscow.

The extent / scale to which they have poisoned their country is hard to imagine.

Take a look at this link (or just read the section that I've copied below):



The emergence of a large-scale radioactive waste dilemma began in 1948, at the Mayak military complex in the secret city of Chelyabinsk-40, located near the city of Kyshtym in the Ural Mountains. The Mayak enterprise provided the Soviet Union with its first atomic bomb. Consequently, for over a decade, the Mayak complex was responsible for pumping 1.2 billion curies worth of caesium- and strontium-laced nuclear waste into the bottom of Lake Karachai. This resulted in nearly 24 times the radioactive content released by the Chernobyl reactor failure. In comparison, the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs released an estimated one million curies of radiation. During the summer of 1967, a portion of the exposed irradiated lake evaporated due to hot and dry weather conditions. Radioactive dust spewed from the lake, affecting an estimated 41,000 people in an area of more than 40,000 square kilometres. By 1990, radiation levels near the lakeshore were still high enough to provide a lethal dose within 60 minutes of exposure. Accordingly, Lake Karachai remains the most contaminated spot on the earth's surface.

Furthermore, between 1948 and 1952 the Mayak plant released nuclear wastes directly into the Techa River, a tributary of the Ob. The intense radiation levels resulted in the irradiation of 124,000 people living by the Techa's banks, and traces of radiation were detected in the Arctic Ocean, some 1000 kilometres away. Some 27,000 square kilometres in the region have been contaminated over the 40 years that the Mayak military complex has been in operation. Presently, the plant still has 100 ponds containing high levels of radioactive waste, each with a capacity of 300 cubic metres.

The attitude the Soviet government had towards these radioactive wastes was both ignorant and naive. During the early years of nuclear weapons production little was known about the effects of radioactivity. As a protective measure against radiation sickness, Soviet scientists believed that drinking large amounts of alcohol would flush radioactivity from the body. Unfortunately, the same level of ignorance and indifference applied in the case of the chief engineer who made the decision to dump radioactive wastes into the Techa River.

Living with Chernobyl 18 Years Later
April 26, 2004

On the night of April 25 to 26, 1986, an explosion and fire at the Chernobyl Reactor Four unleashed the greatest industrial disaster in the history of humankind... Today Chernobyl survivors plan to participate in a national solidarity demonstration to mark the eighteenth anniversary of the explosion that ruined their lives.

The demonstration is necessary says Yuri Andreev, president of a two year old nonprofit organization the Union Chernobyl of Ukraine, because the newly adopted state budget does not guarantee even elementary survival for Chernobyl victims. Andreev told the Pravda news organization that the Ukrainian government has provided only US$2.50 for ambulatory treatment of one victim of the tragedy.

Closed on December 15, 2000, the Chernobyl reactor still threatens the environment. To keep radioactive dust within, a concrete shell was built over the reactor by remote control when radioactivity was high.

Its guaranteed life ends in 2006, and the shell, known as a sarcophagus, has now deteriorated. The walls are showing cracks and the ceiling is sagging.

To convert the shelter into an ecologically safe facility, a new shelter has been designed with a life of 100 years. It will be built near the damaged reactor and then moved in over the first one at an estimated cost of US$758 million.

That story has done the rounds on the FBB before. Still, it's always good to be reminded of the importance of the safety.

Another story, from about the same era:

Muscovites check radishes for radiation



A $50 personal Geiger counter gives Russians a sense of confidence at the market.

"Geiger counters for individual use are among the most popular items these days," says Nadezhda Ivanova, a salesperson at Helion, a Moscow electronics shop that sells several different models of the devices at prices ranging from $20 to $200.
